Abstract:
Results of in situ RNA-RNA hybridization showed the presence of transcripts of the Lentinula edodes hydrophobin 1 gene, Le.hyd1, everywhere in the mycelial tissues of developing fruiting bodies except for the top parts of the pileus (cap) and for the prehymenophore. A high level of the transcript was detected in the parts surrounding the prehymenophore.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
